This invention relates totcertainfnew and useful improvements 111 Windowsashes and for its primary object, the, provision ofa which shall be ofextremely simple construe be easily and quickly assembled. 1

"Another object ofjthe invention is to provide sash and pane holderwhich/is so constructed as to permit afree circulation, of air aroundthe window pane so as to prevent condensation forming thereon.

The invention also aims to. providemeans" whereby water may be drainedfrom the pane and sash; wherebya circulationof air may be maintainedaround the inner sides ting; and whereby a pane of glass be firmly heldin position without the use of putty. t a

With these and other objects in view, as will become more apparent asthe description proceeds, the invention consists in certain novelfeatures of combination, construchereinafter claimed. e

For a complete understanding of my'invention, reference is to be had tothe following description, and accompanying drawjings, in which, i A

Figure 1 is an interior side elevation of a? window frame embodying myinvention, themore fully described and transverse sectional views; takenupon the plane of line 33 and 4+4, respectively, of Fig.1, Fig. 5 is afragmentary elevation-,1 partly in section, showing the upper end of thetop sash, Fig; 6 is a fragmentary view in elevation, of theupper'portion of the lower being slightly modified.
